He needs proper care under emergency under supervision, so just have faith in doctors and God , at this time the treatment they are providing can only help.
Thank you. However he’s only getting worse in their care. Is there anything I can do to help support him in getting better and not worse?
In that case you should take opinion from specialist in allopathic at this time, ayurveda can be supportive but this time their body is not able to take it.
U can do some externally that will help… Gentle 2-3 min message with ksheerbala taila if not available there can simply use sesame or almond oil, Om mantra chating slow voice around him. - continue with other treatment as going on. - avoid to intake herbal products for now
